sometimes I look at the money ladder & think if I get to one point then I would be happy but know its wrong way to play tourneys

but think your hand is to strong here & would 3bet it to 250K but would be pot commited if he raised , some would flat call but you only hit flop 1-in-3 times but dont think this much

rereading what you said about previous hand would shove this , AK you want to see 5 cards anyway


Easy push here imo, you have about 10 times his raise and there is already almost 200k in the pot.

It sucks because he is utg but with 50bb I think his opening range should be wide enough for a shove to be profitable here. It depends also a lot on the way people play as you might have a better option to 3bet/call a push. The problem is that the guy might flat and you might miss flop and you should push any flop.

I would take this line: 3bet to about 270000 and call a push. If he calls I would push any flop.

I think the only play that is out of the question here is call. If you think he might push weaker hands than the ones he would call a push with it is better to 3bet call. I like this play more because he might fold the flop when you push if he flats preflop. Actually if he is bad enough to flat pre your 3bet I think he is bad enough to fold the flop quite a lot.

Plus if you push your hand kind of looks like exactly what it is.

I agree 100% with Albeback.

Folding is out of the question since AKs is way too strong.
Calling keeps the pot small and lets you get away cheap if you dont hit,
but again AKs is too strong to try to "get away cheaply", you would be giving up the best hand too often and if you hit you wouldnt get enough action to make-up.

So you can push or 3bet/call. You dont really want max foldequity here since a better hand wouldnt fold anyway and maybe he 4bet shoves AQ or so. So 3bet/call is my preferred line, just make shure you 3bet big enough so that he doesnt get the odds to call.
